About our sink repair in Welwyn

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include a crazed, tired basin and a chipped basin edge, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Welwyn as everywhere else we work.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Welwyn. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

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 are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Welwyn, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Welwyn questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Welwyn included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hertfordshire.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Welwyn?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your AL6 postcode.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
