DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
About our sink repair in Blundeston
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and a chipped vanity basin.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Blundeston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Blundeston
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

- Knocks from hair straighteners

- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
Before you book anyone
