Problem with your basin in Wickham Market? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Sink repair at your home in Wickham Market
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wickham Market and across Suffolk.

What affects the price in Wickham Market
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we’re called out for in Wickham Market

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
FAQs for Wickham Market
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you come to Wickham Market?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wickham Market and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
