Sink repair at your home in Down Street
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Landlord and trade work in Down Street
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Down Street, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Your questions about sink repair in Down Street
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across East Sussex.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Repair or replace in Down Street?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
