Sink & basin repair in Roydon, Essex
We travel to Roydon for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How we handle sink repair in Roydon
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Roydon
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
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’ll come back with a fixed figure.
