Questions from Milton-next-Gravesend
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
