How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Do you need sink repair in Henshaw?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An antique basin with chips

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:

- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Our work in Henshaw

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour-matched on site
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
