How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM77 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stisted use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Stisted, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Stisted
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
Do you come to Stisted?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Stisted. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
