Trusted sink repair in Palm Bay

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Sink repair in Palm Bay without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and fine cracks across the glaze, we can generally put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Palm Bay and across Kent.

Your questions about sink repair in Palm Bay

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you come to Palm Bay?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Palm Bay from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repair or replace in Palm Bay?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Signs you need sink repair in Palm Bay

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A crack near the taps
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
