What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it. Somewhere as small as High Garrett, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin, we can help, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.
In a village like High Garrett, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, and those are worth keeping. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in High Garrett, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When to call us in High Garrett
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
Landlords with property near Braintree station (about 2.6 miles south) use us between tenancies, so basins are repaired rather than replaced.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Replacement in High Garrett means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
