Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Halton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we handle sink repair in Brookvale
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are an antique basin with chips and fine cracks across the glaze.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Brookvale questions
What areas do you cover?
All of Halton, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Brookvale?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Brookvale and the rest of Halton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When to call us in Brookvale
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
