Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.

What else we do in Hartest Hill
What your basin is made of matters

Your questions about sink repair in Hartest Hill
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why Hartest Hill clients choose us

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hartest Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
