Sink repair in Stubb's Cross, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with a crazed, tired basin and a chipped basin edge, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Choosing a repair company

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Questions from Stubb's Cross

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you come to Stubb's Cross?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stubb's Cross and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How much does sink repair cost in Stubb's Cross?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TN26 postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How soon can you come?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
