Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sevenoaks
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sevenoaks as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
