Sink repair at your home in Bruisyard

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped vanity basin, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Bruisyard: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
