Your questions about sink repair in Great Welnetham
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Sink repair in Great Welnetham, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re often asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Great Welnetham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
