South Pickenham: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in South Pickenham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on

Signs you need sink repair in South Pickenham
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
