Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Silver End: your questions answered
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Are there extra charges for Silver End?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repair or replace in Silver End?

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Silver End, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
