About our sink repair in Tendring
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we’re called out for in Tendring
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
