Sink Repair in Garboldisham
We travel to Garboldisham for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Garboldisham
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Suffolk.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
