- Repairs from £95
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we handle sink repair in Audenshaw
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Audenshaw and across Tameside.

Signs you need sink repair in Audenshaw
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Audenshaw get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Work done at your home or business

Audenshaw questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How much does sink repair cost in Audenshaw?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Tameside, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
