Sink repair in Highoak without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Common problems we fix in Highoak
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped vanity basin
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
Repair or replace in Highoak?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Most jobs done in one visit

What else we do in Highoak
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Highoak: your questions answered
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Highoak and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
