Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Monkswood
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When to call us in Monkswood
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
