Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Culford: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How much does sink repair cost in Culford?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Culford

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Culford. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Culford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
