Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Great Ryburgh questions
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Great Ryburgh included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

- Belfast and butler sinks
