About our sink repair in Hexton
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s a chipped vanity basin and fine cracks across the glaze, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about sink repair in Hexton
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Hexton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Hexton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Hexton
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Signs you need sink repair in Hexton
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
