How to compare quotes

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Dunburgh. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Dunburgh

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunburgh

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunburgh

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Questions from Dunburgh

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Dunburgh and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
