What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Common problems we fix in Haigh
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What else we do in Haigh
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Haigh: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Haigh?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Haigh for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
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.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
