Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
FAQs for Branstone
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Branstone is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are there extra charges for Branstone?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Branstone
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Advice
Do you need sink repair in Branstone?
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairing versus replacing in Branstone
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
