How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Sink repair in Harwich without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips around the rim and a period basin that needs restoring.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Harwich
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How much does sink repair cost in Harwich?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Harwich and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harwich use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we’re called out for in Harwich
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

- A chipped vanity basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One price list for the whole UK

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
