Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
High Leigh questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you need sink repair in High Leigh?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped basin edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
