Common questions in High Harrington
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for sink repair in High Harrington?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you work in High Harrington?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to High Harrington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.
