How we handle sink repair in Henhurst
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped basin edge, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about sink repair in Henhurst
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Henhurst?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Henhurst. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we are called out for in Henhurst
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Henhurst use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Henhurst. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, 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.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
What affects the price in Henhurst
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
