Repairs by material
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. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
FAQs for Higham
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Higham.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What we’re called out for in Higham
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
