Questions from Brocketsbrae

Do you work in Brocketsbrae?

We do. We send a technician to Brocketsbrae for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Brocketsbrae. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ML11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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