Questions from Great Chesterford
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
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. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
Everywhere in the UK, Great Chesterford included. Travel is included in the price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Great Chesterford
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When to call us in Great Chesterford
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
