How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

Common questions in Breightmet
Do you cover Breightmet?
We do. We send a technician to Breightmet for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Breightmet. Prices do not change with location.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
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.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Repairing versus replacing in Breightmet
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Breightmet
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- Everything repaired in place

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t 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.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BL2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
