Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Harpley customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Advice

What affects the price in Harpley

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Harpley, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Harpley

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?

The entire UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

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 photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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 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.

Common problems we fix in Harpley

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
