Sink & basin repair in Green End, Hertfordshire
Sink repair across Green End and nearby, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Sink repair at your home in Green End
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with chips on a built-in basin and chips from dropped toiletries, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Green End and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Green End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
