About our sink repair in Saxlingham Thorpe
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Should you replace it?

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
