About our sink repair in Seaton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and an antique basin with chips.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Seaton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Seaton questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SR7 postcode.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Seaton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
