Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Geldeston
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Your questions about sink repair in Geldeston

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
