Hartgrove questions
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Do you come to Hartgrove?
We do. We send a technician to Hartgrove for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An original basin worth saving
- A crazed, tired basin

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hartgrove
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on

What affects the price in Hartgrove
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hartgrove. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Hartgrove, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
