How we handle sink repair in Hengrave

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When to call us in Hengrave
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Common reasons people in Hengrave contact us include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What affects the price in Hengrave
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Hengrave
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
Across the UK, and that includes Hengrave. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
