Advice
Temple Hirst: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Everywhere in the UK, Temple Hirst included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
