How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hertingfordbury. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hertingfordbury. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK

Read our pricing.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Hertingfordbury

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hertingfordbury use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
