Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in St Paul's Cray
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

What else we do in St Paul's Cray
St Paul's Cray: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I get a price for sink repair in St Paul's Cray?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BR5 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Paul's Cray
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Paul's Cray use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to St Paul's Cray. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Paul's Cray. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
