About our sink repair in Southgate
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and a chipped basin edge.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repair or replace in Southgate?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs 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 pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Common questions in Southgate
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
