Sink repair at your home in Mistley
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
