About our sink repair in Watford
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Watford
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
