Sink & basin repair in Woollensbrook, Hertfordshire
Our repair technicians come to Woollensbrook for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Sink repair in Woollensbrook without replacing anything
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about an original basin worth saving and cracks starting at the waste.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Woollensbrook
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Woollensbrook
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Woollensbrook?
We do. We send a technician to Woollensbrook for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Woollensbrook?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
