Our sink repair service in Greater Manchester

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
We polish the repair to blend it in.
You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

What it costs in Greater Manchester

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

The type of damage
How much damage there is
Doing more than one item at once
Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

A clear, close picture of the problem area
Details of any past repairs
Something in shot to show the size
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater Manchester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairing versus replacing

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Greater Manchester: your questions answered

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Do you come to Greater Manchester?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Greater Manchester. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
