Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What affects the price in Little Walden
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Little Walden. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Little Walden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it. Somewhere as small as Little Walden, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the sink repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Little Walden
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Walden as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. In an older home in a village like Little Walden, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add 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.
