Landlord and trade work in Brentwood
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
FAQs for Brentwood
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before booking
- Same prices wherever you are
Read our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
