Common questions in Barrow Bridge
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What else we do in Barrow Bridge
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Do you need sink repair in Barrow Bridge?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
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.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
