The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Newhaven
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
