What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.

Common questions in Bures Green
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What we are called out for in Bures Green
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bures Green as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
