Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How we handle sink repair in Oaker Hill
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and crazing in the glaze, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Oaker Hill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Oaker Hill
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Your questions about sink repair in Oaker Hill
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
