Sink & basin repair in Calais Street, Suffolk

- Repairs from £95
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Sink repair in Calais Street, 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.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
