About our sink repair in Stambourne Green

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and a chipped basin edge.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stambourne Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
