What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Sink repair at your home in Shotesham

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips around the rim.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Landlord and trade work in Shotesham

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Shotesham: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Shotesham and the rest of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
