About our sink repair in Threehammer Common
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and chips on a built-in basin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Threehammer Common
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Threehammer Common questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Threehammer Common and the rest of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, 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 and leave the character intact.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
