What else we do in Bodiam
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bodiam
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Bodiam, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
When to call us in Bodiam
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped basin edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps

Questions from Bodiam
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Bodiam?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TN32 postcode.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: 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. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
