How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured. Somewhere as small as Pattiswick, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What affects the price in Pattiswick

Repairs from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Pattiswick questions

Do you take on commercial work in Pattiswick?

Yes, and we are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. We’ll agree timings that suit the building.

I let a flat near Braintree Freeport station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes. Send photos and the address, and we’ll quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Pattiswick

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pattiswick use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Signs you need sink repair in Pattiswick

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped basin edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

If you let a flat or house near Braintree Freeport station (about 3.3 miles south-west), we repair basins between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.
