How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we are called out for in White Notley
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries

FAQs for White Notley
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Repair or replace in White Notley?
Swapping a basin frequently 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for White Notley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
