Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common problems we fix in Holton St Mary

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

If you let a flat or house near Manningtree station (about 3.6 miles south-east), we repair basins between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included. Somewhere like Holton St Mary needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the sink repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Holton St Mary. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Holton St Mary?

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
