Sink repair at your home in Brookhay

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, we can help, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Brookhay

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

The whole UK, including all of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
