What else we do in Bradwell
Bradwell questions
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bradwell use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

Repairing versus replacing in Bradwell
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
Read our prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
