About our sink repair in Southfleet

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we’re called out for in Southfleet

  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about sink repair in Southfleet

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you come to Southfleet?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Southfleet. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

What affects the price in Southfleet

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Southfleet get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Southfleet

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
