What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
About our sink repair in Hatfield
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped toiletries and fine cracks across the glaze.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Hatfield questions
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you come to Hatfield?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hatfield and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Hatfield?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Hatfield included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
