- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Paddlesworth: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover Paddlesworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Paddlesworth and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
