What affects the price in Patcham
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match

- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Sink repair at your home in Patcham
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and a period basin that needs restoring, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Patcham
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Questions from Patcham
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you come to Patcham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Patcham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Brighton and Hove.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Patcham
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
