Questions from Whitstable
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How we handle sink repair in Whitstable
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and fine cracks across the glaze, we can usually put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairing versus replacing in Whitstable
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Landlord and trade work in Whitstable

What affects the price in Whitstable
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Whitstable. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
