DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Questions from Pockthorpe
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work in Pockthorpe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pockthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
