Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Willingale and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Your questions about sink repair in Willingale
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Willingale?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Willingale and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Willingale

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repairing versus replacing in Willingale
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
