Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Common questions in Audley End
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
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.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
If you’re in Audley End and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
