Sink repair in Hethel without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

FAQs for Hethel
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are there extra charges for Hethel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR14 postcode.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
When to call us in Hethel
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
What to look for in a quote

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Hethel, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
