Sink & basin repair in Balls Green, Essex
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Balls Green, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How we handle sink repair in Balls Green
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and chips around the rim, we can generally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Balls Green and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business
See our prices page.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Balls Green. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Balls Green
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you cover Balls Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Balls Green. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
