How we handle sink repair in Wixoe
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips around the rim.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wixoe and across Suffolk.

Questions from Wixoe
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wixoe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
