Barrow: your questions answered
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What else we do in Barrow
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Barrow, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
