Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Stansted Mountfitchet
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Stansted Mountfitchet. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Your questions about sink repair in Stansted Mountfitchet
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Stansted Mountfitchet?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stansted Mountfitchet for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
