About our sink repair in Higher Broughton
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and a period basin that needs restoring.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Higher Broughton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Higher Broughton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

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 hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What affects the price in Higher Broughton
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
