About our sink repair in Higham Hill
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and an original basin worth saving.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Higham Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

FAQs for Higham Hill
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Higham Hill?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Higham Hill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
