Sink & basin repair in Hapton, Norfolk
We travel to Hapton for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Sink repair in Hapton, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and a crack near the taps, we can generally put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Hapton: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Hapton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you come to Hapton?
We do. We send a technician to Hapton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?

What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Repairing versus replacing in Hapton
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
