How we handle sink repair in Heron Cross

In a smaller place like Heron Cross, the jobs are mostly in family bathrooms. Most chips take a short visit.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there. In a smaller place like Heron Cross, parking is rarely a problem. If you’re down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common questions in Heron Cross
Can you repair basins at a school or business in Heron Cross?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Send pictures and details of the building.
Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in Heron Cross?
Generally: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We will give you an honest view from pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 generally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Heron Cross, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
