About our sink repair in Brackenhill
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with chips on a built-in basin and a crazed, tired basin, we can usually put it right.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin 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.
Brackenhill: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Brackenhill and the rest of Wakefield. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

What affects the price in Brackenhill
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Brackenhill. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WF7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
