Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
High Moorsley questions
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, High Moorsley included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you come to High Moorsley?
We do. We send a technician to High Moorsley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
