Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What else we do in Framingham Earl
What we’re called out for in Framingham Earl
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Framingham Earl
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Framingham Earl: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Norfolk.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
The entire UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
