Your questions about sink repair in New Barn
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are there extra charges for New Barn?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Barn use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in New Barn?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
