How we handle sink repair in Roach Bridge
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Common questions in Roach Bridge
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you cover Roach Bridge?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Roach Bridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Common problems we fix in Roach Bridge

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

- How changes to the job are handled

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
