Hempstead: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Medway. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Sink repair in Hempstead, done in place
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips around the rim.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Medway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

What we’re called out for in Hempstead
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
