How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

Saffron Walden: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
