Sink repair at your home in Woodham Ferrers
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips around the rim.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What else we do in Woodham Ferrers
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Woodham Ferrers. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Woodham Ferrers questions
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you come to Woodham Ferrers?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Woodham Ferrers. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
