Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you are dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Broadmeadows questions

How much does sink repair cost in Broadmeadows?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TD7 postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you work in Broadmeadows?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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 and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broadmeadows

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Signs you need sink repair in Broadmeadows

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An original basin worth saving

Questions to ask before you book
