When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks starting at the waste and fine cracks across the glaze.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Parkgate

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Your questions about sink repair in Parkgate

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover Parkgate?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Parkgate for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

What affects the price in Parkgate

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Parkgate. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
