Sink Repair for Hereford homes
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for householders, landlords and businesses in Hereford. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Sink repair in Hereford without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and chips around the rim, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Hereford
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Questions from Hereford

Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair a cracked basin?

What information do you need?

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
