Sink repair for Sevenoaks Weald homes

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

About our sink repair in Sevenoaks Weald

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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 photos, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
