What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Common questions in Crumbles

How much does sink repair cost in Crumbles?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Landlord and trade work in Crumbles

For anyone letting property in or around Crumbles, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

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 is easier on the people living there.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole basin

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BN23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Crumbles

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price
