How we handle sink repair in Higher End
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you are dealing with a chipped basin edge and chips from dropped toiletries, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Higher End
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

We work in all 63 towns and villages in Wigan, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Higher End to Liverpool (about 12 miles away).
All of WN5, WN8 and WN3 is covered. That includes homes on Moss Road, Park Road and Hall Lane and the roads around them. Nearby, we also work in Longshaw (1 mile south), Brownlow (1 mile south), Orrell (1 mile north-east), Up Holland (1 mile north-west) and Crawford (2 miles west).

The closest station to Higher End is Orrell station, about 0.6 miles north-east.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Higher End, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
