Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we handle sink repair in Takeley
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Common questions in Takeley
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you come to Takeley?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Takeley. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When to call us in Takeley

What to look for in a quote

What a repair cannot fix

Repairing versus replacing in Takeley
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
