Sink repair in Little Yeldham without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Little Yeldham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
