When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

About our sink repair in Brighton and Hove

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for crazing in the glaze and an antique basin with chips, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Brighton and Hove and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Brighton and Hove

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

FAQs for Brighton and Hove

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

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.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
