Sink repair in Little Blakenham without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Blakenham

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Little Blakenham questions

Do you cover Little Blakenham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Little Blakenham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How much does sink repair cost in Little Blakenham?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

We cover the entire UK, including Little Blakenham and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
