What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on. Somewhere like Monk Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the sink repair, so there’s no second trip.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
Questions from Monk Street
I let a flat near Stansted Airport station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, we often work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.
Will you travel to Monk Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Repair or replace in Monk Street?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Replacement in Monk Street means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Monk Street. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What else we do in Monk Street
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
