What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What else we do in Bradshaw
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bradshaw. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

Bradshaw questions
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Bolton. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BL2 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are there extra charges for Bradshaw?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Common problems we fix in Bradshaw
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks starting at the waste

- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bradshaw. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
