Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Sink repair in Broom without replacing anything

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on a built-in basin, we can usually put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Broom

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Broom

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Crazing in the glaze

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before you book
