About our sink repair in Cholesbury
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There is no plumbing to disconnect. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and fine cracks across the glaze.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What affects the price in Cholesbury
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in Cholesbury
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Cholesbury?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cholesbury and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
