Quotes from your pictures

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Tostock, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Sink repair at your home in Tostock
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Your questions about sink repair in Tostock
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tostock.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
