Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairing versus replacing in Sompting
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What affects the price in Sompting
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sompting. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sompting. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
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 also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we’re called out for in Sompting
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage

Do you cover Sompting?

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BN15 postcode.
