Chipped basin edge, before and after repair

What your basin is made of matters

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

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Higham Ferrers

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover Higham Ferrers?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Higham Ferrers and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What a repair can’t fix

  • A basin that moves on its brackets

  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Higham Ferrers

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
