Sink repair at your home in Rye
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When to call us in Rye
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Repairing versus replacing in Rye
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Rye
What affects the price in Rye
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rye
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Rye, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
