Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Lingwood
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lingwood as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
Questions from Lingwood
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lingwood, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
