Sink & basin repair in Higherford, Lancashire
We travel to Higherford for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Sink repair at your home in Higherford
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Higherford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 photos.
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 a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
