About our sink repair in Piddinghoe
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and crazing in the glaze.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Piddinghoe and across East Sussex.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Piddinghoe, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Piddinghoe
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
