Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Bishopstone
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Questions from Bishopstone
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Bishopstone?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bishopstone. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bishopstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
