London Colney: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in London Colney
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire basin
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
