Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chigwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Chigwell

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips around the rim

Comparing quotes

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

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, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chigwell as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
