How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Common problems we fix in Broomhill

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A crazed, tired basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Broomhill

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

FAQs for Broomhill

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you work in Broomhill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Broomhill. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
