What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What affects the price in King's Walden
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
