Repairs by material

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 carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Sink repair in Halstead, done in place

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Halstead. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Halstead

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Halstead?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you work in Halstead?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Halstead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Halstead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
