Sink repair at your home in Lakenheath
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about sink repair in Lakenheath
Do you work in Lakenheath?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lakenheath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lakenheath use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- Typically one visit, start to finish
See our prices page.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
