Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
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.
What we are called out for in Richborough Port
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Questions from Richborough Port
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
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.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair isn’t the answer

- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
