Sink repair in Highgate without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and chips around the rim.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Highgate questions
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do you work in Highgate?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Highgate. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Greater London.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Do you need sink repair in Highgate?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
