DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Sink repair in Ottinge without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and a chipped basin edge, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ottinge as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What affects the price in Ottinge
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ottinge. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Ottinge
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Ottinge and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you work in Ottinge?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ottinge. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
