How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should you replace it?
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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Heighington questions
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Do you come to Heighington?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Heighington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heighington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What we’re called out for in Heighington
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Heighington. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
