Sink repair at your home in Mereworth

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are frequently asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and knocks from hair straighteners, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Landlord and trade work in Mereworth

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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.

Mereworth: your questions answered

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How much does sink repair cost in Mereworth?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your ME18 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Repair or replace in Mereworth?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.
