Sink repair in Rushlake Green, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re often asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze, in enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Rushlake Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
