How we handle sink repair in Broadley Common
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Broadley Common
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broadley Common use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy 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. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When to call us in Broadley Common
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps

What else we do in Broadley Common
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Broadley Common: your questions answered
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
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
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
