Advice

Do you need sink repair in Burwash Common?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on a built-in basin

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as St Philip's Church, it may still have original basins or a period toilet, which are worth repairing rather than replacing.

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Burwash Common

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Burwash Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
