Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Sink repair in Wyverstone, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Common questions in Wyverstone
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What areas do you cover?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you come to Wyverstone?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Wyverstone from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
