Repair or replace in Backbower?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

About our sink repair in Backbower
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped vanity basin, in enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Backbower
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Backbower
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common questions in Backbower
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Backbower?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Backbower from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
