Woodbridge: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Woodbridge included. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Sink repair in Woodbridge without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and chips on the rim or front edge, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Woodbridge and across Suffolk.

Signs you need sink repair in Woodbridge
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

Repairing versus replacing in Woodbridge
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How it works

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Advice

Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Quotes from your photos

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
