- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Black Notley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Signs you need sink repair in Black Notley
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Common reasons people in Black Notley contact us include:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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.
