How we handle sink repair in Occold

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and a crack near the taps, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.

FAQs for Occold

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

If you manage property in Occold, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
