Sink & basin repair in Martlesham Heath, Suffolk
Our technicians come to Martlesham Heath for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Martlesham Heath
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks starting at the waste
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Martlesham Heath questions
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Martlesham Heath and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Martlesham Heath. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Martlesham Heath
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
