Landlord and trade work in Herdings
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Sink repair in Herdings, done in place
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There is no plumbing to disconnect. If you are dealing with a crazed, tired basin and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price

Advice
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Herdings: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Different materials, different repairs
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 fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
