Sink repair in Birkenhead, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and chips around the rim, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin 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 the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Questions from Birkenhead
How do I get a price for sink repair in Birkenhead?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Birkenhead, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Birkenhead
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for these signs:
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
