Repair or replace in Chenies?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we are called out for in Chenies
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for these signs:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin

Chenies: your questions answered
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Chenies included. There is no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Chenies?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Landlord and trade work in Chenies
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chenies use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
