Sink repair in Otham without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Otham
What affects the price in Otham
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Otham
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you work in Otham?
We do. We send a technician to Otham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Otham
For anyone letting property in or around Otham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Signs you need sink repair in Otham
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
