Composite and resin

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Keeres Green: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover Keeres Green?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Keeres Green and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Landlord and trade work in Keeres Green

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Keeres Green

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace in Keeres Green?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
