About our sink repair in Howegreen
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and an antique basin with chips.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Howegreen: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover Howegreen?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Howegreen for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Repair or replace in Howegreen?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Howegreen, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Howegreen
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
