Sink & basin repair in Bromford, Birmingham
Local sink repair for Bromford: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we handle sink repair in Bromford
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlord and trade work in Bromford
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Questions from Bromford
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What else we do in Bromford
Common problems we fix in Bromford
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
