How we handle sink repair in High Leven
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

- Vanity unit basins

FAQs for High Leven
Can you repair a cracked basin?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Repairing versus replacing in High Leven
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in High Leven
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
