What we do, step by step

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Arundel. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
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 no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Landlord and trade work in Arundel
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arundel as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Arundel
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you cover Arundel?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Arundel for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
