About our sink repair in Chadderton Fold
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Chadderton Fold
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 are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
What affects the price in Chadderton Fold
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When to call us in Chadderton Fold
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for these signs:
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
- A crazed, tired basin
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
