Sink repair in The Street without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an original basin worth saving, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Street as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Questions from The Street
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you come to The Street?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to The Street and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How do I get a price for sink repair in The Street?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in The Street
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What affects the price in The Street
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
