Questions from Hertford Heath

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How we handle sink repair in Hertford Heath

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace in Hertford Heath?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hertford Heath. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
