Your questions about sink repair in Wesley End
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Sink repair at your home in Wesley End
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and chips from dropped toiletries, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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 a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wesley End as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
