For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
