Our sink repair service in Liverpool

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a crazed, tired basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

What you’ll pay

Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Liverpool. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Liverpool and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Liverpool

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving

Common questions in Liverpool

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

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 keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
