Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Landlords, agents and businesses in Seaside

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Seaside use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repair or replace in Seaside?

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. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about sink repair in Seaside

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you cover Seaside?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Seaside from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How to compare quotes

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Seaside. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
