What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you 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 few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

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

Elveden: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

How much does sink repair cost in Elveden?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?

Everywhere in the UK, Elveden included. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Common problems we fix in Elveden

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips around the rim

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Elveden. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Elveden?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Elveden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
