Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Broadwath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our pricing.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broadwath

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broadwath use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Common questions in Broadwath

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

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.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy 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.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
