About our sink repair in Hoddesdon
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and crazing in the glaze, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What affects the price in Hoddesdon
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.

Common questions in Hoddesdon
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
