Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Foulsham: your questions answered

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What areas do you cover?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR20 postcode.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Common problems we fix in Foulsham

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim
  • An antique basin with chips

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Foulsham

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Foulsham. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
