About our sink repair in Great Blakenham
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and chips around the rim, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
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 a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Great Blakenham
Do you work in Great Blakenham?
We do. We send a technician to Great Blakenham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?

What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you need sink repair in Great Blakenham?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
