FAQs for Heckingham
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Heckingham?
We do. We send a technician to Heckingham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Heckingham
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Heckingham, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Heckingham
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need sink repair in Heckingham

- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work

Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
