Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common questions in Rodmell
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Sussex.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

- 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.

Related advice
When to call us in Rodmell
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
