Sink repair in Great Glemham, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Common questions in Great Glemham
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What affects the price in Great Glemham
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Great Glemham
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
