About our sink repair in Eastbourne
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and an original basin worth saving.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Eastbourne
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
Questions from Eastbourne

Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Eastbourne. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
