Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Sink repair at your home in Pinford End
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about sink repair in Pinford End
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pinford End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
