Sink repair in Braiseworth, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Braiseworth
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Braiseworth: your questions answered
How much does sink repair cost in Braiseworth?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What we’re called out for in Braiseworth
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
