About our sink repair in Ashton-in-Makerfield
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Ashton-in-Makerfield
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Are there extra charges for Ashton-in-Makerfield?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ashton-in-Makerfield, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
