What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Sink repair in Hempstead, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we are called out for in Hempstead
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repairing versus replacing in Hempstead
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hempstead.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
