How we handle sink repair in Southwick

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Southwick: your questions answered

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Southwick is covered. Prices do not change with location.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What affects the price in Southwick

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
