Sink repair near Saltdean

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Sink repair at your home in Saltdean

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with a crack near the taps and an antique basin with chips, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Saltdean: your questions answered

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Saltdean?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Saltdean?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Saltdean from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What affects the price in Saltdean

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire basin

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
