Sharpstone Street questions
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
We cover the whole UK, including Sharpstone Street and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Sharpstone Street
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- When it can be used again
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Sharpstone Street
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
