Broadwater Down: your questions answered

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Are there extra charges for Broadwater Down?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What affects the price in Broadwater Down

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Most customers in Broadwater Down get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

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

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

If you’re in Broadwater Down and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
