Broughton: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Signs you need sink repair in Broughton
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crazed, tired basin
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
