What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Little Melton
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
We cover the entire UK, including Little Melton and the rest of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Melton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
