Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
FAQs for Chorleywood
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What areas do you cover?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
