Questions from Henlade
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
About our sink repair in Henlade
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge, in antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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.
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 usually the cheaper route.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Henlade. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When to call us in Henlade

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
