How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

For a price in Heogan, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What affects the price in Heogan

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Heogan, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from Heogan

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you come to Heogan?

We do. We send a technician to Heogan for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
