From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Advice

What affects the price in Lyng

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lyng, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Your questions about sink repair in Lyng

Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?

We cover the whole UK, including Lyng and the rest of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Lyng?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Do you need sink repair in Lyng?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A chipped vanity basin

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos 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

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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