We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a period basin that needs restoring.

What affects the price in Highstead
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Highstead. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Highstead, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Common problems we fix in Highstead
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on a built-in basin
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Highstead
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Highstead: your questions answered
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Are there extra charges for Highstead?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you cover Highstead?
We do. We send a technician to Highstead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
