Advice
What a repair can’t fix

- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Repairing versus replacing in Hatherden
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hatherden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Hatherden
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hatherden
If you manage property in Hatherden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Hatherden: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Are there extra charges for Hatherden?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
