About our sink repair in Polegate
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and chips from dropped toiletries.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

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, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Most customers in Polegate get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
