Sink repair for East Dean homes

Sink repair at your home in East Dean

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and a chipped vanity basin.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairing versus replacing in East Dean

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for East Dean. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
