Sink repair in Broadwey

Broadwey: your questions answered

Do you come to Broadwey?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Broadwey from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

We cover the entire UK, including Broadwey and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

How we handle sink repair in Broadwey

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Broadwey

For anyone letting property in or around Broadwey, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairing versus replacing in Broadwey

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
