We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Broad Hill: your questions answered

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Broad Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broad Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Broad Hill

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped vanity basin

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything
