Sink repair in Grundisburgh

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Sink repair at your home in Grundisburgh

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s chips from dropped toiletries and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on 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.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When to call us in Grundisburgh

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crazed, tired basin

How to compare quotes

Grundisburgh questions

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price
