When to call us in Throcking
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for these signs:
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What affects the price in Throcking
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SG9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Throcking
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Throcking?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
