Shopwyke questions
Can you repair basins in a rental near Chichester station?
Yes. Send photos and the address, and we will quote.
Do you cover villages like Shopwyke?
Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included, at no extra charge.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Sink repair in Shopwyke, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are often asked to fix an antique basin with chips and fine cracks across the glaze, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
In and around Shopwyke, older homes can have basins that are hard to replace like for like. A repair keeps everything matching.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use. Somewhere like Shopwyke needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking.

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Shopwyke, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. For a rural home like those around Shopwyke, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
