We are frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and chips from dropped toiletries, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Staplecross and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Staplecross. What changes the price is:

Staplecross: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
If you’re in Staplecross and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Staplecross
Swapping a basin often 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
