Sink repair in Ranworth without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and chips on a built-in basin.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Repair or replace in Ranworth?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Ranworth
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Norfolk.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
