Common questions in Lower Street

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How we price sink repair

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
