DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in High Ham

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

FAQs for High Ham

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work in High Ham?

We do. Technicians travel to High Ham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Common problems we fix in High Ham

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crazed, tired basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in High Ham

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
