Sink repair at your home in Ardwick
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater Manchester.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One price list for the whole UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Landlord and trade work in Ardwick
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardwick as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When to call us in Ardwick
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Ardwick
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Ardwick?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
