Trusted sink repair in Stradsett

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How we handle sink repair in Stradsett

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and crazing in the glaze.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stradsett and across Norfolk.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Stradsett

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Stradsett: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Repair or replace in Stradsett?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
