Repair or replace in Brooklands?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs

What affects the price in Brooklands
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Brooklands, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When to call us in Brooklands
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
