Sink repair at your home in Dengie

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and a chipped basin edge, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

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.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

When to call us in Dengie

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Dengie. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Dengie, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
