About our sink repair in Acle
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Acle
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Other services in Acle
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
FAQs for Acle
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
