About our sink repair in Aldcliffe
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are an antique basin with chips and chips on the rim or front edge.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down 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 is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Landlord and trade work in Aldcliffe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
