Sink repair in Badwell Ash, done in place

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Repairing versus replacing in Badwell Ash

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t 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.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we are called out for in Badwell Ash

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crazed, tired basin

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about sink repair in Badwell Ash

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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