DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Repair or replace in Higher Vexford?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

- Leaks from the fittings

Higher Vexford questions
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
