About our sink repair in Bratch
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Bratch questions
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bratch
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bratch. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
