A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped basin edge.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Walberswick. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Your questions about sink repair in Walberswick

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Landlord and trade work in Walberswick

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walberswick use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
