About our sink repair in Yaxley
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common questions in Yaxley
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Yaxley?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
