Hudnall questions

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work in Hudnall?

We do. We send a technician to Hudnall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Hudnall

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
