Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Brockford Street: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Will you remove the sink?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work in Brockford Street?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Brockford Street and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting 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 will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Brockford Street. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Brockford Street get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
