- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
About our sink repair in Theydon Bois
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Theydon Bois. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
