Tinsley Green: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Tinsley Green included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you cover Tinsley Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tinsley Green and the rest of West Sussex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tinsley Green
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tinsley Green. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What else we do in Tinsley Green
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
