Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Higher Dinting. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size

- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

Higher Dinting: your questions answered
Do you cover Higher Dinting?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Higher Dinting and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Are there extra charges for Higher Dinting?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
