How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlord and trade work in Horham

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips around the rim

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Horham

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

Across the UK, and that includes Horham. Our prices are the same everywhere.

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

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your IP21 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
