Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

FAQs for Erwarton
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Erwarton and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
If you are in Erwarton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
