Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

FAQs for Pedlinge

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Pedlinge?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Pedlinge. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
