About sink repair in Wigan

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Wigan, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How the damage happens

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together.

Wigan: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair an antique basin?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work in Wigan?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wigan for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
