Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

About our sink repair in Hartwell
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and a crazed, tired basin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What we’re called out for in Hartwell
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

FAQs for Hartwell
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What else we do in Hartwell
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What affects the price in Hartwell
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hartwell. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
