What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Howle Hill questions
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Howle Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
