FAQs for Hendy
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Repair or replace in Hendy?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
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.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Common problems we fix in Hendy
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Hendy and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
