Trusted sink repair in Trowse Newton

Sink repair in Trowse Newton without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Trowse Newton and across Norfolk.

Trowse Newton questions

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Trowse Newton is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Trowse Newton?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Trowse Newton

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
