Questions from Broughton Cross
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
