- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Biggin

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

FAQs for Biggin
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work in Biggin?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Biggin from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are there extra charges for Biggin?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
