Sink repair in South Walsham, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about cracks starting at the waste and a crazed, tired basin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in South Walsham, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
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 and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
