The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Bolton Low Houses: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Signs you need sink repair in Bolton Low Houses
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins

Landlord and trade work in Bolton Low Houses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CA7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
