Jacob's Post questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Jacob's Post.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover Jacob's Post?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Jacob's Post and the rest of West Sussex. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Sink repair in Jacob's Post without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and fine cracks across the glaze.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
What affects the price in Jacob's Post
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Jacob's Post. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Jacob's Post. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Jacob's Post, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
