Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairing versus replacing in Hastingwood
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we are called out for in Hastingwood
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
Common questions in Hastingwood
Do you work in Hastingwood?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hastingwood. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
