Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What else we do in East Cliff
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Questions from East Cliff
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Cliff
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Cliff use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
