Landlords, agents and businesses in Rendham
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Different materials, different repairs
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 fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Rendham: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP17 postcode.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
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.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Rendham and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
