Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

When to call us in Lavenham
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

- Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Questions from Lavenham
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lavenham. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole basin
For a price in Lavenham, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Lavenham
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
