Sink repair in Ixworth, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and chips on the rim or front edge, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ixworth. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Ixworth?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Ixworth
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in Ixworth?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ixworth and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ixworth.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
