Questions from Hersden
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you cover Hersden?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hersden for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Hersden?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What affects the price in Hersden
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Hersden, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common problems we fix in Hersden
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hersden
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CT3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
