What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Landlord and trade work in Smarden

If you manage property in Smarden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
