Sink repair in Alfriston without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Alfriston questions
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Alfriston is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Alfriston
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
