Great Stambridge: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Great Stambridge
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SS4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Repair or replace in Great Stambridge?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
