About our sink repair in Shipmeadow
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze, we can help.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Shipmeadow questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Shipmeadow?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Shipmeadow. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
