Sink repair at your home in St Leonards
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with chips on a built-in basin and a period basin that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in St Leonards
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in St Leonards
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for St Leonards. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in St Leonards, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin 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 and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
