Sink repair at your home in Baxenden
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and a chipped vanity basin.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Baxenden, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
