How we handle sink repair in Barcombe
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Common problems we fix in Barcombe
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
