Sink & basin repair in Mowden, Essex
We travel to Mowden for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We clean the basin and check 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 generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mowden. The price reflects:

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mowden use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairing versus replacing in Mowden
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
