Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Sink repair in Southbourne without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Southbourne as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When to call us in Southbourne
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An original basin worth saving

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What else we do in Southbourne
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
