From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Landlord and trade work in Burnham-on-Crouch

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burnham-on-Crouch use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Do you need sink repair in Burnham-on-Crouch?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
