Aldham: your questions answered

Do you come to Aldham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Aldham and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When can you do it?

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

Are there extra charges for Aldham?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aldham

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would 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 morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Most customers in Aldham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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