Sink repair at your home in Rustington

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped vanity basin, we can usually put it right.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Common problems we fix in Rustington

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crazed, tired basin

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Rustington

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Rustington?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Rustington and the rest of West Sussex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Rustington

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price
