- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

When to call us in Snetterton

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Repairing versus replacing in Snetterton

Snetterton: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Snetterton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Snetterton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
