About our sink repair in Stratford St Mary
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and chips on the rim or front edge.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the fittings

- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Stratford St Mary: your questions answered
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stratford St Mary. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
