Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
FAQs for Orford
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you work in Orford?
We do. Technicians travel to Orford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before you book
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Everything repaired in place

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
