Sink repair at your home in Bromley Cross
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bromley Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
FAQs for Bromley Cross
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Landlord and trade work in Bromley Cross
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Do you need sink repair in Bromley Cross?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crack near the taps
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
