Common questions in Balcombe Lane
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Balcombe Lane?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RH17 postcode.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Balcombe Lane included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
