When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Firle
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Firle and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Firle. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
