How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about sink repair in East Somerton

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

The entire UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in East Somerton

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in East Somerton

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR29 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why East Somerton clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in East Somerton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
