DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 generally cheaper.
Sink repair in Mill Green without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and chips from dropped toiletries, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mill Green as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common questions in Mill Green
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
Across the UK, so Mill Green is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Mill Green get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
