Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Your questions about sink repair in South Creake

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Norfolk.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Are there extra charges for South Creake?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in South Creake

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
