DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Row as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Questions from West Row
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Repairing versus replacing in West Row
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How we price sink repair

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
