Common questions in The Willows
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including The Willows and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in The Willows.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

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 carefully around original features.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
