Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Signs you need sink repair in Lenwade

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped vanity basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Lenwade

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common questions in Lenwade

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Lenwade included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What affects the price in Lenwade

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lenwade. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lenwade, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
