What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work. All we need in Letchworth Garden City is access to the room and a parking space nearby. Most visits are a single trip, with the sink repair finished the same day.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Your questions about sink repair in Letchworth Garden City

Do you take on commercial work in Letchworth Garden City?

Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.

Can you restore the original basins in an older house in Letchworth Garden City?

Normally, yes. Older basins are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hertfordshire.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. In a town like Letchworth Garden City, a replacement may not match the rest of the room, while a repair keeps everything as it is.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our Full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

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 is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Letchworth Garden City 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.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
