About our sink repair in Snettisham

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are often asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and knocks from hair straighteners, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Snettisham and across Norfolk.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Snettisham. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
