Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Bygrave questions
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover Bygrave?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bygrave. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SG7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Bygrave

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
