Sink repair near Hassocks

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we handle sink repair in Hassocks

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hassocks, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Hassocks

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When to call us in Hassocks

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crack near the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
