Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Great Ellingham. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
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.
Do you need sink repair in Great Ellingham?
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks starting at the waste

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
