Your questions about sink repair in Newhaven
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Newhaven?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Newhaven from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Repair or replace in Newhaven?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Newhaven. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BN9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
