Sink repair in Pulham without replacing anything

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Pulham. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pulham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole basin

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Pulham, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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.

When to call us in Pulham

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Crazing in the glaze

10 questions to ask before you book

Pulham: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover Pulham?

We do. We send a technician to Pulham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Repair or replace in Pulham?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
