Book sink repair in Broad Oak

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How we handle sink repair in Broad Oak

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and chips on a built-in basin.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Landlord and trade work in Broad Oak

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

How to compare quotes

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
