About our sink repair in Sittingbourne

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and knocks from hair straighteners.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sittingbourne

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Sittingbourne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Sittingbourne: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your ME10 postcode.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Sittingbourne. Prices do not change with location.

Are there extra charges for Sittingbourne?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire basin

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ME10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
