Sink repair for Little Catwick homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Sink repair in Little Catwick without replacing anything

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

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

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Landlord and trade work in Little Catwick

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Your questions about sink repair in Little Catwick

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
