Sink & basin repair in Lyngate, Norfolk
Sink repair across Lyngate and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
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.
How we handle sink repair in Lyngate
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s a crack near the taps and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR28 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
