How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Common problems we fix in High Cross
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
Before booking anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. 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.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before you book
- One visit for most repairs

Your questions about sink repair in High Cross
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in High Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Cross as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
