Sink repair for Broughton homes

Sink repair in Broughton without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about knocks from hair straighteners and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we’re called out for in Broughton

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped basin edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Broughton: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broughton

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
