How we handle sink repair in Lower Sheering
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Lower Sheering
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Lower Sheering and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you work in Lower Sheering?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lower Sheering for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When to call us in Lower Sheering
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
