Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How we handle sink repair in Abram
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and a chipped basin edge, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Abram. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Abram questions
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Abram and the rest of Wigan. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you come to Abram?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Abram and the rest of Wigan. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How much does sink repair cost in Abram?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
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 you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
