Sink Repair in West Sussex

Our sink repair service in West Sussex

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips around the rim.

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

What it costs in West Sussex

Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Local landmarks in Crawley

Around Crawley, we work in homes near Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, St Wilfrid's Catholic School and Tilgate Park and the streets around them. Also close by are The George Hotel (under half a mile north), Three Bridges Junior School (under half a mile south-east) and St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School (less than half a mile south-east). There’s a railway station in Crawley itself: Crawley station. Nearby you will also find Crawley Hospital (0.5 miles north-west) and County Mall (within half a mile north-east). The countryside around Crawley includes Tilgate Lake.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How the damage happens

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have.

What affects the price in West Sussex

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in West Sussex

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
