Sink repair in Bury

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

About our sink repair in Bury

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include damage to a basin in a vanity unit and knocks from hair straighteners, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

FAQs for Bury

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Do not 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 and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What affects the price in Bury

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
