How we handle sink repair in Broken Cross

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire West and Chester.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
Common questions in Broken Cross
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you cover Broken Cross?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Broken Cross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
