Sink repair at your home in Coggeshall
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Coggeshall
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Coggeshall?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Coggeshall.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
