What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Holkham

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

  • An original basin worth saving

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Holkham: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Holkham?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Holkham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

If you are in Holkham and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
