Sink & basin repair in Staple, Kent
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Staple, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Sink repair in Staple, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include a crazed, tired basin and an original basin worth saving, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Staple as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
When to call us in Staple
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again

- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Common questions in Staple
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Repair or replace in Staple?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
