How sink repair works in Oldham

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze.

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

What you’ll pay

Common problems we fix in Oldham

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oldham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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

Oldham: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. 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 we agree with you.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
