Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Broadley Fold questions
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
