Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins

Repairing versus replacing in Trimley St Martin
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Trimley St Martin
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IP11 postcode.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
