Choosing a repair company

Sink repair in Bigrigg, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with cracks starting at the waste and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Repair or replace in Bigrigg?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

What affects the price in Bigrigg

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
