Questions from Highleigh

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

How much does sink repair cost in Highleigh?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Sink repair in Highleigh without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s chips around the rim and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can usually put it right, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Highleigh

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PO20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Do you need sink repair in Highleigh?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to look after the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
