Landlord and trade work in Bernards Heath

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Bernards Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Signs you need sink repair in Bernards Heath

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Bernards Heath: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in Bernards Heath?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bernards Heath. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price
