Repairs by material
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
How we handle sink repair in High Town
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and a crazed, tired basin, we can generally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What else we do in High Town
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
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 to call us in High Town
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in High Town
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
