How we handle sink repair in Great Gaddesden
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with cracks starting at the waste and a chipped basin edge, we can generally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Gaddesden as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
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 will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What else we do in Great Gaddesden
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Great Gaddesden questions
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
