- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
FAQs for Highlane
Do you cover Highlane?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Highlane from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
