What affects the price in Epping Green
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
About our sink repair in Epping Green
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crazed, tired basin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Epping Green
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
