Sink & basin repair in Ickworth, Suffolk
Problem with your basin in Ickworth? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What else we do in Ickworth
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Ickworth
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can landlords book you?

What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

How soon can you come?

Repairing versus replacing in Ickworth
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?

- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
