Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

FAQs for St Ippolyts
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in St Ippolyts
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Ippolyts as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
