Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What else we do in Aylsham
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Aylsham questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work in Aylsham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Aylsham and the rest of Norfolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Are there extra charges for Aylsham?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you need sink repair in Aylsham?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole basin
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Aylsham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Aylsham?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
