What we work on
- Antique & period basins

- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Older homes around Colney Heath may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.
Our sink repair starts from £95. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
