Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. For a rural home like those around Lugwardine, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while sink repair is one trip.
Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

About our sink repair in Lugwardine
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and chips on a built-in basin.
In and around Lugwardine, older homes can have basins that are hard to replace like for like. A repair keeps everything matching.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we are called out for in Lugwardine
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
Facilities teams at buildings such as St Mary's RC High School can book us for toilets and washrooms too.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lugwardine use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Common questions in Lugwardine
Can you repair basins in a rental near Hereford station?
Yes. Send pictures and the address, and we will quote, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
Do you take on commercial work in Lugwardine?
Yes, and we are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Lugwardine?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you come to Lugwardine?
We do. Technicians travel to Lugwardine from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
