Sink repair in Pevensey Bay

How we handle sink repair in Pevensey Bay

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped vanity basin, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Pevensey Bay

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BN24 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
