DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Signs you need sink repair in Broughton

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Broughton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Your questions about sink repair in Broughton
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start 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 NN14 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you work in Broughton?
We do. We send a technician to Broughton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
