Sink repair in Pockthorpe, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Pockthorpe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Pockthorpe
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Common questions in Pockthorpe
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Pockthorpe?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Pockthorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Pockthorpe. Prices do not change with location.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NR3 postcode.
Repairing versus replacing in Pockthorpe
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Everything repaired in place
- One price list for the entire UK

What we’re called out for in Pockthorpe
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
