Fakenham questions
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Sink repair in Fakenham, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Fakenham
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped basin edge
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched

Landlord and trade work in Fakenham
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
