The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Hatfield Heath

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

FAQs for Hatfield Heath

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.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
