Broughton: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How we handle sink repair in Broughton
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Landlord and trade work in Broughton
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

We charge the same wherever you are, 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.

- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work

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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
