Sink & basin repair in Hellingly, East Sussex
Sink repair across Hellingly and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- An antique basin with chips

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we handle sink repair in Hellingly
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hellingly and across East Sussex.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Hellingly
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Hellingly is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
When to call us in Hellingly
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chipped basin edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An original basin worth saving

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- 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.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Hellingly get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
