Common questions in Brightlingsea
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Brightlingsea?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Brightlingsea. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Brightlingsea. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Brightlingsea, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Brightlingsea
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
