Your questions about sink repair in Southover
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Sussex.
Are there extra charges for Southover?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Southover?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN7 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?

Do you need sink repair in Southover?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Southover, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
