Sink repair at your home in Hare Green
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and a chipped vanity basin, we can generally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Your questions about sink repair in Hare Green
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hare Green, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Hare Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Common problems we fix in Hare Green
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving

Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
