For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Rye Foreign, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Do you need sink repair in Rye Foreign?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Common reasons people in Rye Foreign contact us include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
