Sink repair in Brettenham, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you are dealing with an antique basin with chips and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Brettenham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Brettenham questions
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Brettenham.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace in Brettenham?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Signs you need sink repair in Brettenham
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
