10 questions to ask before you book

Brabling Green: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you cover Brabling Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Brabling Green. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

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, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What affects the price in Brabling Green

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Brabling Green. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
