Sink repair at your home in Nettleden
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Nettleden
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you come to Nettleden?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Nettleden and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When to call us in Nettleden
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:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
