Questions from Chapel-en-le-Frith
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Chapel-en-le-Frith get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
