How we handle sink repair in Adlington

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and a crack near the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Questions from Adlington

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Adlington

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Adlington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
