The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

What affects the price in Attleborough

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Attleborough

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Your questions about sink repair in Attleborough

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
