How we handle sink repair in West Kingsdown
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about sink repair in West Kingsdown
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including West Kingsdown and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
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.
Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the whole UK
