Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Aldford. Send pictures for a free, fixed quote.
- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Sink repair at your home in Aldford
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring, we can typically put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Aldford as everywhere else we work.

All about sink & basin repair
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Aldford questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover the entire of Cheshire West and Chester?
We cover the entire UK, including Aldford and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
