What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Sidlesham Common, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Your questions about sink repair in Sidlesham Common

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Signs you need sink repair in Sidlesham Common

  • Crazing in the glaze

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
