- Repairs from £95
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on a built-in basin
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle sink repair in Brough
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and a crack near the taps, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Brough
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What affects the price in Brough
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash

When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Brough

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

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

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
