Since establishing our Sussex operations in the early 1990s, we've become the county's leading sink repair specialists. Our journey began servicing the grand Victorian properties of Brighton & Hove, where preserving original Belfast sinks was essential. Today, our expertise spans every sink type found in Sussex homes - from traditional farmhouse sinks in rural cottages to ultra-modern composite installations in new developments.
Our 30 years of experience means we've encountered every possible sink problem. From thermal cracks caused by boiling water to impact damage from dropped pans, we have proven solutions that last. Each repair uses professional-grade materials specifically chosen for durability in Sussex's varied climate conditions.
Last week, we completed a challenging restoration on a 1920s Butler sink in a Grade II listed property near Petworth. The homeowner had been quoted £3,200 for replacement, which would have required Listed Building Consent and potentially damaged the original tiled splashback. The sink had severe crazing across the entire surface, multiple chips around the overflow, and a 6-inch crack running from the drain.
Our specialist technician spent four hours meticulously restoring this heritage piece. After stabilising the crack with aerospace-grade bonding agents, each chip was carefully rebuilt using colour-matched filler. The entire surface was then professionally resurfaced with our heritage-approved coating system, perfectly matching the original cream glaze. The transformation was remarkable - the sink looked better than it had in decades.
Total cost: £395 including our 12-month warranty. The homeowner saved over £2,800, preserved an original feature, and avoided weeks of planning applications. The repair will last for years, maintaining the property's period character while providing modern functionality.
Every sink repair in Sussex begins with thorough assessment. We examine the damage extent, identify the sink material, and check for underlying structural issues. Proper preparation is crucial - we clean, degrease, and key the surface to ensure maximum adhesion. For ceramic and porcelain sinks, we use specialist primers that chemically bond to the glazed surface.
Different sink materials require specific approaches. Belfast sinks need gentle treatment to preserve their character, while modern composites require different bonding agents. Our technicians carry comprehensive repair kits with materials for every sink type commonly found in Sussex homes.
Chips and cracks are filled using professional compounds that match your sink's colour and texture. We build up damaged areas in thin layers, allowing proper curing between applications. This technique prevents shrinkage and ensures invisible repairs. For cracks, we apply reinforcement mesh beneath the sink for additional strength.
Complete resurfacing transforms worn or stained sinks. After repair work, we apply multiple coats of specialist topcoat, each carefully sanded for perfect smoothness. The final coating provides superior resistance to impacts, staining, and thermal shock - often exceeding original sink specifications.
Sussex's diverse housing stock presents various sink repair challenges. Coastal properties face salt air corrosion, while older inland homes often have original sinks showing decades of wear. Our experience across the county means we've developed specific solutions for regional problems.
Student properties in Brighton and holiday lets along the coast see heavy use, leading to accelerated wear.

Sussex's varied geography creates unique challenges for sink maintenance. Coastal areas from Eastbourne to Bognor Regis face salt air exposure that can accelerate deterioration, particularly affecting metal fixtures and fittings. Meanwhile, rural properties often rely on private water supplies that can affect sink surfaces differently than mains water.
