Sink repair in Great Bardfield, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and a crack near the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Great Bardfield. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
