Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Little Plumstead

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Common problems we fix in Little Plumstead

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips around the rim

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
