Sink repair in Lodsworth, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Questions to ask before booking

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lodsworth. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Questions from Lodsworth
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across West Sussex.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
