Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Your questions about sink repair in Hungry Hill

How much does sink repair cost in Hungry Hill?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR20 postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What areas do you cover?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hungry Hill. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Hungry Hill?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
