Problem with your basin in Sandgate? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Sink repair in Sandgate without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Sandgate and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about sink repair in Sandgate
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Sandgate?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
Most clients in Sandgate get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
