Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Sink repair at your home in Windmill Hill
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We are frequently asked to fix an antique basin with chips and knocks from hair straighteners, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Windmill Hill clients choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Questions from Windmill Hill
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Windmill Hill and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
