Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for homes and businesses in Brookmans Park and across Hertfordshire. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, 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.

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about chips around the rim and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brookmans Park
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Your questions about sink repair in Brookmans Park
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you come to Brookmans Park?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Brookmans Park for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What else we do in Brookmans Park
Common problems we fix in Brookmans Park
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to care for the finish
- How the colour is matched
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
