How we handle sink repair in Basildon
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with a chipped basin edge and an antique basin with chips, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Basildon
If you manage property in Basildon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Basildon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
