The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
FAQs for Hensting
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What affects the price in Hensting
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When to call us in Hensting
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Hensting, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hensting use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairing versus replacing in Hensting
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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 Hensting clients choose us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
