The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Broad Oak
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Broad Oak. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
