Sink repair at your home in Tivetshall St Mary
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tivetshall St Mary. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tivetshall St Mary. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Tivetshall St Mary questions
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- Aftercare advice

What else we do in Tivetshall St Mary
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
