Sink repair in East Dean, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We’re often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and an original basin worth saving, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from East Dean
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins

Repair or replace in East Dean?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we are called out for in East Dean

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
