What we’re called out for in Strettington

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped vanity basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area

Landlord and trade work in Strettington

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Your questions about sink repair in Strettington

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across West Sussex.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Strettington. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
