Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Sink repair in Higham on the Hill, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Higham on the Hill as everywhere else we work.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Common questions in Higham on the Hill
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

When to call us in Higham on the Hill
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

- An original basin worth saving

Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

See our prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
