Sink Repair for Ickburgh homes
Sink repair across Ickburgh and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
About our sink repair in Ickburgh
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks starting at the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Your questions about sink repair in Ickburgh
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Ickburgh?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we are called out for in Ickburgh
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Comparing quotes
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
