Sink & basin repair in Bentley, Suffolk
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for householders, landlords and businesses in Bentley. Send photos for a free, fixed quote.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we handle sink repair in Bentley
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Other services in Bentley
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Bentley
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
