Sink repair in Wells-next-the-Sea, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include a crack near the taps and crazing in the glaze, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wells-next-the-Sea

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wells-next-the-Sea as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Your questions about sink repair in Wells-next-the-Sea

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
