Sink repair in Boxgrove

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Sink repair in Boxgrove without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about sink repair in Boxgrove

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Boxgrove?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Boxgrove from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How much does sink repair cost in Boxgrove?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Boxgrove, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
