How we handle sink repair in Teston

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help.

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

Common questions in Teston

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Teston

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Teston. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need sink repair in Teston?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crack near the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Teston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Teston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Teston

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
