Sink repair in Hunsdon without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Questions from Hunsdon
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SG12 postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we’re called out for in Hunsdon
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Repairing versus replacing in Hunsdon
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
