Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing

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

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Badley: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you work in Badley?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you need sink repair in Badley?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An original basin worth saving

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Badley. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
