Sink repair for Old Buckenham homes

Sink repair in Old Buckenham without replacing anything

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Buckenham

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

FAQs for Old Buckenham

Will it make a mess?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Old Buckenham.

  • Chips from dropped toiletries

How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Old Buckenham

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Old Buckenham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Buckenham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • 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 get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
