What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Signs you need sink repair in Bawdsey

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

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. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Honest limits

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

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Bawdsey

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

Your questions about sink repair in Bawdsey

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Suffolk.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
