How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What else we do in Datchworth
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Your questions about sink repair in Datchworth
Do you come to Datchworth?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Datchworth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How much does sink repair cost in Datchworth?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Datchworth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
