What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Withdean. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business

Landlord and trade work in Withdean

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Withdean

Do you come to Withdean?

We do. We send a technician to Withdean for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How much does sink repair cost in Withdean?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN1 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Withdean included. There is no extra charge for travel.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Withdean

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Materials we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
