Sink Repair in Great Yarmouth
Sink repair across Great Yarmouth and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
How we handle sink repair in Great Yarmouth
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for crazing in the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Yarmouth
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
