Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can pets and children be at home?

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy. Around Rickmansworth, parking is usually easy, so the visit is simple to arrange. Just mention if the basin is upstairs or in a flat.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Repair or replace in Rickmansworth?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Around Rickmansworth, a new basin rarely matches what’s around it, whereas repairing keeps the room matching.
Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
