FAQs for Hernhill
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Hernhill?
We do. Technicians travel to Hernhill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
When to call us in Hernhill
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips around the rim

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
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 water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
