The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

FAQs for Hastings

How do I get a price for sink repair in Hastings?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you come to Hastings?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hastings. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hastings

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Do you need sink repair in Hastings?

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended

What affects the price in Hastings

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hastings. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Hastings

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
