Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

Do you need sink repair in Salehurst?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crazed, tired basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Your questions about sink repair in Salehurst

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?

Everywhere in the UK, Salehurst included. Travel is included in the price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Salehurst

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Salehurst. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
