Sink repair in Chailey without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Chailey

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

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Repairing versus replacing in Chailey

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
