What else we do in Hollingdean
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hollingdean. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What we are called out for in Hollingdean
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BN1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What affects the price in Hollingdean
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hollingdean. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
