Sink repair at your home in Tiptree Heath
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Your questions about sink repair in Tiptree Heath
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
We cover the whole UK, including Tiptree Heath and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Tiptree Heath.
Do you cover Tiptree Heath?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Tiptree Heath and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Tiptree Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
When to call us in Tiptree Heath
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
