What else we do in Lakenham
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we are called out for in Lakenham
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Lakenham, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Lakenham
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Common questions in Lakenham
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Lakenham?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are there extra charges for Lakenham?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
