Common questions in Broughton and Bretton
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chipped vanity basin

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
