Sink repair for Horam homes

Sink repair at your home in Horam

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Horam

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace in Horam?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Horam. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common questions in Horam

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
