DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

FAQs for Chigwell Row
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you work in Chigwell Row?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Chigwell Row and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

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
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.
