DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for High Valleyfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
