How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for Broughton

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?

Across the UK, so Broughton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE28 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Broughton. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Broughton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
