Sink repair in Litlington

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Sink repair in Litlington, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and a crack near the taps, across Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Litlington and across East Sussex.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Litlington clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Litlington. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

We do not add 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.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
