Sink repair near Aldenham

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WD25 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Aldenham questions

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Aldenham and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you cover Aldenham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Aldenham and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
