Sink repair in Elsted

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we handle sink repair in Elsted

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped basin edge and a period basin that needs restoring.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Elsted

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Signs you need sink repair in Elsted

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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.

Questions from Elsted

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
