DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our full price list.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Common questions in High Lane

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What affects the price in High Lane

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we’re called out for in High Lane

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
