Sink Repair in Brighton and Hove

How sink repair works in Brighton and Hove

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are often asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and a crazed, tired basin, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

How the damage happens

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brighton and Hove use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Brighton and Hove

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Brighton and Hove.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
