Sink & basin repair in Cawston, Norfolk
Problem with your basin in Cawston? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Sink repair in Cawston, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cawston and across Norfolk.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Questions from Cawston
How do I get a price for sink repair in Cawston?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR10 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When to call us in Cawston
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
