Sink repair in East Horndon, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips around the rim, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
East Horndon questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you work in East Horndon?
We do. We send a technician to East Horndon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in East Horndon
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
