Kings Langley: your questions answered

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How much does sink repair cost in Kings Langley?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
