Sink repair for Streat homes

Sink repair in Streat, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and cracks starting at the waste.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

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 photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common questions in Streat

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price
