Your questions about sink repair in Downham Market
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Downham Market. Prices do not change with location.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Downham Market
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
