Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Your questions about sink repair in Aldeby
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What we are called out for in Aldeby
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Aldeby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Covering Aldeby
Aldeby is about 5 miles west of Lowestoft, in Suffolk. Our work suits any type of property, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. We cover 731 places across Suffolk, from the larger towns to small villages.
Our visits in NR34 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether you live on The Street, Rectory Road and St Mary's Road or a nearby road, we can come to you. We also cover the places around Aldeby: Wheatacre (1 mile east), Burgh St Peter (1 mile east), Barnby (3 miles south-east), North Cove (3 miles south) and Mutford (4 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Lowestoft (5 miles east), Beccles (3 miles south-west), Bungay (7 miles west), Halesworth (11 miles south-west), Kirkley (6 miles east) and Pakefield (6 miles south-east).
Around Aldeby
Typical jobs here are in homes near Church of St Mary, among other places. The nearest railway station is Beccles station, roughly 2.4 miles south-west of the centre. Nearby you will also find Beccles and District Museum (2.8 miles south-west) and Beccles and District War Memorial Hospital (2.9 miles south-west). Not far away are Fritton Lake and Castle Marshes.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 often lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Aldeby
If you manage property in Aldeby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
