Sink Repair in Pembury
Problem with your basin in Pembury? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we handle sink repair in Pembury
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped vanity basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features 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.

Questions from Pembury
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you cover Pembury?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pembury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairing versus replacing in Pembury
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Pembury. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
