When to call us in Birling Gap
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Birling Gap
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What else we do in Birling Gap
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Your questions about sink repair in Birling Gap
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Birling Gap. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Birling Gap. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
