Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hunsdonbury use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

Questions from Hunsdonbury
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Hunsdonbury?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SG12 postcode.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
