Repairing versus replacing in Higham
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What affects the price in Higham
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Your questions about sink repair in Higham
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Higham.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
