Landlords, agents and businesses in Herongate
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Herongate: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Herongate?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Herongate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Are there extra charges for Herongate?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- One price list for the whole UK

- Work done at your home or business

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Herongate. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Herongate, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
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 it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
