- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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 typically the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Etchingham. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode

Etchingham questions
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
