Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Sink repair at your home in Broome

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about chips on a built-in basin and an original basin worth saving.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Broome, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

When to call us in Broome

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice

FAQs for Broome

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you come to Broome?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Broome for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
