Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about sink repair in Great Green
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
What areas do you cover?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What we do, step by step
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 few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Signs you need sink repair in Great Green
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How to care for the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
