About our sink repair in Knettishall
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an original basin worth saving, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Knettishall, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. 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.
Knettishall: your questions answered
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Knettishall.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
