Sink repair at your home in Altrincham
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and a chipped vanity basin.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price

Repairing versus replacing in Altrincham
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures
Take a look at our prices page.
What affects the price in Altrincham
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Altrincham. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we are called out for in Altrincham
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Questions from Altrincham
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
