About our sink repair in Norseman
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Norseman
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Norseman. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Norseman
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
