How we handle sink repair in Gayton

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re often asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and a chipped basin edge, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gayton and across Norfolk.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

FAQs for Gayton

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Gayton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin

  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
