Your questions about sink repair in Chichester

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Chichester, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Signs you need sink repair in Chichester

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped basin edge

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
