What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

About our sink repair in Highcliffe

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repair or replace in Highcliffe?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Highcliffe

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Highcliffe

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crazed, tired basin

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
