- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hemingford Abbots as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PE28 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
A basin is usually 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colour-matched on site
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Hemingford Abbots: your questions answered
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Hemingford Abbots?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hemingford Abbots. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
How much does sink repair cost in Hemingford Abbots?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE28 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in Hemingford Abbots
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
