Landlords, agents and businesses in Rushmere
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
About our sink repair in Rushmere
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Common problems we fix in Rushmere
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- 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.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
