Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our full price list.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Your questions about sink repair in East Preston

Do you cover East Preston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to East Preston and the rest of West Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for East Preston?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including East Preston. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in East Preston and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
