Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Lothian and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Bolton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

10 questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Bolton

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How much does sink repair cost in Bolton?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH41 postcode.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
