Sink repair in Castleshaw, done in place
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Castleshaw
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Castleshaw use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Signs you need sink repair in Castleshaw
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Castleshaw?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Work done at your home or business
- A fixed quote before you book

Castleshaw: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the entire of Oldham?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
