Esh Winning questions
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Are there extra charges for Esh Winning?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Esh Winning. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
