How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dedham Heath as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Dedham Heath: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
We cover the entire UK, including Dedham Heath and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- 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.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
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 finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
When to call us in Dedham Heath
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
