Need sink repair in Great Melton?

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Sink repair in Great Melton, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Great Melton and across Norfolk.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
