Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Southend. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Southend: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
