How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. In an older home in a village like Tivetshall St Margaret, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often 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.
Signs you need sink repair in Tivetshall St Margaret
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips
In the older streets of Tivetshall St Margaret, around landmarks like Church of St Margaret, period sanitaryware is worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can.
