Sink repair at your home in Birdham
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Questions from Birdham
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover Birdham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Birdham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?
All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What else we do in Birdham
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birdham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
