How we handle sink repair in Bolnhurst
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Landlord and trade work in Bolnhurst
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
FAQs for Bolnhurst
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Bedford Borough.

- How many areas need work
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
