How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Billinge. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Billinge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.
Sink repair in Billinge, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wigan and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Billinge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What else we do in Billinge
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When to call us in Billinge
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
