How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Broadgate 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.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Broadgate: your questions answered

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Landlord and trade work in Broadgate

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace in Broadgate?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
