Snoll Hatch: your questions answered

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN12 postcode.

What do you need from me?

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

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Snoll Hatch

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Snoll Hatch

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps

Landlord and trade work in Snoll Hatch

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
