When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Your questions about sink repair in Bell's Cross
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
Across the UK, and that includes Bell's Cross. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
