Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
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.
About our sink repair in Harlow Wood
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Harlow Wood: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What a repair can’t fix

- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Vanity unit basins

- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
DIY kit or professional 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 typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Common problems we fix in Harlow Wood
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Harlow Wood
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
