About our sink repair in Woolpit
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins

Other services in Woolpit
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Common problems we fix in Woolpit
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
