How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Platt's Heath. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Platt's Heath and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Common questions in Platt's Heath
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around Platt's Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Common problems we fix in Platt's Heath
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
