About our sink repair in Walpole Cross Keys

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and fine cracks across the glaze, we can typically put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you don’t 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.

Your questions about sink repair in Walpole Cross Keys

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
