Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Send pictures and details of the building.
Will you travel to Bicknacre?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Signs you need sink repair in Bicknacre
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Landlords with property near South Woodham Ferrers station (about 3.1 miles south) use us between tenancies, so basins are repaired rather than replaced.

Should you replace it?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. In an older home in a village like Bicknacre, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
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 crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
