Sink repair in Bury Green without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crazed, tired basin and chips around the rim.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bury Green and across Hertfordshire.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Common questions in Bury Green

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What sink repair costs

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bury Green

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
