Book sink repair in Roe Green

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

About our sink repair in Roe Green

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and cracks starting at the waste, in antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Roe Green: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

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 pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work in Roe Green?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Roe Green and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
