Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Materials we work on in Highfield

FAQs for Highfield

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the whole of Sheffield?

All of Sheffield, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for Highfield?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Landlord and trade work in Highfield

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Highfield use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Do you need sink repair in Highfield?

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Highfield. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Highfield, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
