Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Chailey as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What we’re called out for in South Chailey
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected

South Chailey questions
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
