Sink repair near St Mary Cray

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Sink repair in St Mary Cray without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for St Mary Cray. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

St Mary Cray questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How do I get a price for sink repair in St Mary Cray?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

What we work on

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