Questions from Rye Harbour
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Rye Harbour?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rye Harbour. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What to look for in a quote

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why Rye Harbour clients choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
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.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
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.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
