How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Sawbridgeworth, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
