About our sink repair in Otford
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for cracks starting at the waste and chips on the rim or front edge, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Landlord and trade work in Otford
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairing versus replacing in Otford
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Otford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about sink repair in Otford
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

What happens next?

Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
