Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Sink repair at your home in Colegate End
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Colegate End
Which areas do you work in?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
What a repair cannot fix

- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
