FAQs for Tylerscross
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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 tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Tylerscross
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What else we do in Tylerscross
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
