About our sink repair in Heathfield
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Heathfield

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Heathfield. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CB22 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Your questions about sink repair in Heathfield
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
