Sink repair at your home in Orwell
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Do you need sink repair in Orwell?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crazed, tired basin
Comparing quotes

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Orwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Questions from Orwell
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
