Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Questions from South Alkham
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do you come to South Alkham?
We do. We send a technician to South Alkham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Most customers in South Alkham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace in South Alkham?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No extra charge for your area
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Typically one visit, start to finish

- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
