Sink repair for Roedean homes

How we handle sink repair in Roedean

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole basin

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Roedean

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Roedean, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Roedean customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Roedean questions

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Brighton and Hove.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • 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.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we are called out for in Roedean

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
