We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice

Sink repair in Lower Holbrook without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Lower Holbrook

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lower Holbrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Lower Holbrook and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Holbrook

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
