About our sink repair in Walpole
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Walpole
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Questions from Walpole
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you come to Walpole?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Walpole and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
