How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stuston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Stuston

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about sink repair in Stuston

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
