The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Every address in PO30 is covered. Whether you live on Carpenters Lane and Coastguard Lane or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. If you are just outside Brook, we cover Dunsbury (1 mile north), Brookgreen (1 mile south-east), Hulverstone (1 mile east), Shalcombe (1 mile north-east) and Chilton Green (2 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Newport (7 miles north-east), Ryde (14 miles east), Cowes (10 miles north-east), Sandown (13 miles east), Shanklin (12 miles east) and Ventnor (11 miles east). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so call us to arrange it.
Around Brook

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Brook: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you come to Brook?
We do. We send a technician to Brook for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are there extra charges for Brook?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need sink repair in Brook
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Brook
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Brook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
