Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Albourne Street and across West Sussex.

Common questions in Albourne Street

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Albourne Street?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN6 postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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 generally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Albourne Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Albourne Street

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

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.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Albourne Street. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
