Your questions about sink repair in Heatherfield
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you come to Heatherfield?
We do. We send a technician to Heatherfield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Repair or replace in Heatherfield?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Heatherfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
