Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Sink repair in Hockwold cum Wilton without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
Hockwold cum Wilton questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
