Sink & basin repair in Woodlands, Kent

- Repairs from £95

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Sink repair in Woodlands, done in place
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, in ceramic, composite and enamel. Taps and wastes stay connected. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and chips around the rim.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Woodlands?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Woodlands. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking

What else we do in Woodlands
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire basin
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Woodlands questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Woodlands?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Woodlands from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
