Questions from Brandon
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Brandon?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you come to Brandon?
We do. Technicians travel to Brandon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Brandon and the rest of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How we handle sink repair in Brandon
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and knocks from hair straighteners.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Brandon. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- 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.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

- A crazed, tired basin

Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.

Preparing for the visit

How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Brandon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
