DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
How we handle sink repair in Wattisham Stone
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an original basin worth saving, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Wattisham Stone
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Wattisham Stone included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we are called out for in Wattisham Stone
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
