What else we do in Balcombe
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
If you manage property in Balcombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Balcombe. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Balcombe
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?
We work UK-wide, so Balcombe is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you come to Balcombe?
We do. Technicians travel to Balcombe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
