What affects the price in Tiptree
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Tiptree, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we are called out for in Tiptree
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Common questions in Tiptree
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Are there extra charges for Tiptree?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can tenants book a repair?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Most clients in Tiptree get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
