Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for West Mersea. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in West Mersea
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
FAQs for West Mersea
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
Across the UK, and that includes West Mersea. Prices do not change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
