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

Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
About our sink repair in Bredfield
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an original basin worth saving, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Most customers in Bredfield get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Bredfield?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
