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. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common problems we fix in Brook Street

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Common reasons people in Brook Street contact us include:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Brook Street. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole basin

Most clients in Brook Street get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
