Sink repair in Maxton, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are frequently asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and a period basin that needs restoring, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Questions from Maxton
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Across the UK, so Maxton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Maxton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What we are called out for in Maxton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairing versus replacing in Maxton
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
