Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

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, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What we are called out for in Waltham Abbey
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An antique basin with chips
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace in Waltham Abbey?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
