Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Common problems we fix in Hawkwell
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hawkwell, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Hawkwell
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
Everywhere in the UK, Hawkwell included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hawkwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
