Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlord and trade work in Southernden
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southernden use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Southernden. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
If you are in Southernden and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Questions from Southernden
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
