Common questions in Benington
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Benington included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
When to call us in Benington
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Repair or replace in Benington?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
