Sink repair in Writtle without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
We price from photos 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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Writtle questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Writtle.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you come to Writtle?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Writtle and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
