What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we are called out for in Tilney St Lawrence

- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before booking anyone

Common questions in Tilney St Lawrence
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
