Britannia: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover Britannia?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Britannia and the rest of Lancashire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When to call us in Britannia
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Britannia
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Repairing versus replacing in Britannia
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What affects the price in Britannia
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Britannia, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
