Sink repair in Great Yeldham, done in place
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 ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and chips from dropped toiletries.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Great Yeldham
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
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 you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Yeldham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
When to call us in Great Yeldham
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
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 finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
