Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mickley Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Sink repair at your home in Mickley Green
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and chips from dropped toiletries.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, 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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
