Sink & basin repair in Oulton Street, Norfolk
Fixed-price sink repair in Oulton Street and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
How we handle sink repair in Oulton Street
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Oulton Street: your questions answered
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
