What affects the price in Heights
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Heights
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically 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.
Your questions about sink repair in Heights
Is repairing better than replacing?
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.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Heights included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you cover Heights?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Heights from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Heights?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OL3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairing versus replacing in Heights
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
