Sink repair at your home in Falmer
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What affects the price in Falmer
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Falmer, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Falmer: your questions answered
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN1 postcode.
What areas do you cover?
All of Brighton and Hove, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
