Sink repair in Ardingly without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ardingly, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
FAQs for Ardingly
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you come to Ardingly?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ardingly from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?
We cover the entire UK, including Ardingly and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Repair or replace in Ardingly?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
