Sink repair in Earlham without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries, we can normally put it right.

Common questions in Earlham

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Earlham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Earlham and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Earlham

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A chipped basin edge

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the basin and check 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. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: 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 no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Earlham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
