Sink repair in Surlingham, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and an antique basin with chips.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Surlingham
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
