Your questions about sink repair in Braughing
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you come to Braughing?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Braughing. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Sink repair at your home in Braughing
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Braughing
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Braughing. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SG11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need sink repair in Braughing?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlord and trade work in Braughing
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Braughing, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
