Buckland questions
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you work in Buckland?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Buckland from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Advice
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- 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 crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
