What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we’re called out for in Broughton
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Broughton. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not 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.
Common questions in Broughton
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Broughton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
