Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

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 normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

Bretherton questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Bretherton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
Across the UK, so Bretherton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you cover Bretherton?
We do. We send a technician to Bretherton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Common problems we fix in Bretherton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Bretherton
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
