About our sink repair in Iden
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Iden. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Iden get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Your questions about sink repair in Iden
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Which areas do you work in?
All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
