Sink repair at your home in East Tilbury
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Thurrock.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in East Tilbury
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. 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.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour-matched on site
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One price list for the whole UK

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
Landlord and trade work in East Tilbury
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Tilbury as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Your questions about sink repair in East Tilbury
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
