Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Common questions in Broom Hill
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Are there extra charges for Broom Hill?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What affects the price in Broom Hill
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
For a price in Broom Hill, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
