About our sink repair in Broughton Poggs

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped vanity basin and a chipped basin edge.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Common problems we fix in Broughton Poggs

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

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Chips around the rim
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

Repairing versus replacing in Broughton Poggs

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
