Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Landlord and trade work in Shimpling
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Shimpling, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Common questions in Shimpling
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Shimpling and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Shimpling?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Shimpling from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
