Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage

Repairing versus replacing in Mendlesham
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
What affects the price in Mendlesham
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Mendlesham. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
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.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
