Your questions about sink repair in Upper Dicker

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Upper Dicker. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upper Dicker. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Upper Dicker, 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Can I fix it myself?

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 frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
