When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

About our sink repair in Bolton

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

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.

When to call us in Bolton

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Common reasons people in Bolton contact us include:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bolton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

FAQs for Bolton

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
