Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Lambourne End
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What areas do you cover?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Signs you need sink repair in Lambourne End
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for any of the following:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lambourne End use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
