Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

For landlords and businesses
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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Your questions about sink repair in Potters Bar
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
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.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
