Landlords, agents and businesses in Langdon Hills

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Langdon Hills

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving

Our hiring checklist

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Langdon Hills

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you come to Langdon Hills?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Langdon Hills. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
