Sink Repair for Gay Street homes
Sink repair across Gay Street and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Sink repair in Gay Street, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix a chipped basin edge and chips from dropped toiletries, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common questions in Gay Street

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When to call us in Gay Street

Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected

What affects the price in Gay Street
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Gay Street
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
