Trusted sink repair in Westham

Sink repair in Westham, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We are frequently asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and an original basin worth saving, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westham

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Westham

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Sussex.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Westham

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
