Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Your questions about sink repair in Bridgehill
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you come to Bridgehill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bridgehill. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bridgehill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Bridgehill and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Do you need sink repair in Bridgehill?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
