About our sink repair in South Ockendon
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in South Ockendon as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in South Ockendon
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Most clients in South Ockendon get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
