East Bilney: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Norfolk.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Are there extra charges for East Bilney?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in East Bilney, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  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 mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Signs you need sink repair in East Bilney

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A period basin that needs restoring
