DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Your questions about sink repair in Aspenden

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

How much does sink repair cost in Aspenden?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you come to Aspenden?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Aspenden for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aspenden

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
