Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Your questions about sink repair in Henfield
How do I get a price for sink repair in Henfield?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Henfield. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What your basin is made of matters
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 fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Henfield use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
