About our sink repair in Milden
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and knocks from hair straighteners.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 usually the cheaper route.
FAQs for Milden
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Advice
Do you need sink repair in Milden?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Milden. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Milden get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
