Sink Repair in Danbury
Problem with your basin in Danbury? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Sink repair at your home in Danbury
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about an original basin worth saving and chips from dropped toiletries.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Danbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What affects the price in Danbury
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
