Sink & basin repair in Manston, Kent
We travel to Manston for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How we handle sink repair in Manston
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about cracks starting at the waste and chips on the rim or front edge.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Manston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Your questions about sink repair in Manston
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work in Manston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Manston and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What else we do in Manston
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
