About our sink repair in Chadderton
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and cracks starting at the waste, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, 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.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chadderton. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
