10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Bexhill-on-Sea

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours. For a home in Bexhill-on-Sea, we just need access to the room and somewhere to park. One visit is normally enough, with the sink repair finished the same day.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Bexhill-on-Sea

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
