Common questions in Southminster
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Sink repair in Southminster, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What else we do in Southminster
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Southminster customers choose us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southminster
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When to call us in Southminster
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
