Looking after it afterwards

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in North Benfleet, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from North Benfleet
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Signs you need sink repair in North Benfleet
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
What to look for in a quote

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
