Sink Repair in Great Hockham
Fixed-price sink repair in Great Hockham and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Sink repair in Great Hockham without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Great Hockham
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Landlord and trade work in Great Hockham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
