Sink repair in Higham without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When to call us in Higham
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No extra charge for your area

Landlord and trade work in Higham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks

Questions from Higham
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Higham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Higham and the rest of Barnsley. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
