Sink & basin repair in Great Amwell, Hertfordshire
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Great Amwell, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Sink repair at your home in Great Amwell
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and a period basin that needs restoring, in Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Amwell as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Great Amwell, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Questions from Great Amwell
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Are there extra charges for Great Amwell?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
