Sink repair near Broad Lane

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

FAQs for Broad Lane

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you work in Broad Lane?

We do. We send a technician to Broad Lane for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Repair or replace in Broad Lane?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: 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.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Broad Lane

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
