Common questions in Haywards Heath

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you remove the sink?

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 it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What areas do you cover?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

About our sink repair in Haywards Heath

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and a chipped vanity basin.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Haywards Heath, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

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 generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Haywards Heath

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haywards Heath use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace in Haywards Heath?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Haywards Heath

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
