DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Sink repair at your home in Chafford Hundred
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
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.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chafford Hundred
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chafford Hundred as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
