FAQs for Broad Green
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How much does sink repair cost in Broad Green?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO6 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Does someone need to be in?

Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What else we do in Broad Green
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Broad Green get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
