The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Maple Cross. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Maple Cross

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Maple Cross clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Maple Cross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Signs you need sink repair in Maple Cross

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
