Sink & basin repair in Thorpe Morieux, Suffolk
We travel to Thorpe Morieux for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Sink repair in Thorpe Morieux without replacing anything
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and a crazed, tired basin, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know

When a repair is not the answer

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
