Sink repair for Upper Horsebridge homes

Sink repair in Upper Horsebridge, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and cracks starting at the waste, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Horsebridge

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

For anyone letting property in or around Upper Horsebridge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Upper Horsebridge questions

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

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. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
