Sink repair in Henlow Camp

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Sink repair in Henlow Camp, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped vanity basin and cracks starting at the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Henlow Camp

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Henlow Camp

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Henlow Camp. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
