Sink repair in Broad Hinton without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

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

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Broad Hinton

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
