How we handle sink repair in Bowdon
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze, we can help, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Bowdon
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bowdon. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
