Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Questions from Chapeltown

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Chapeltown.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Chapeltown?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you come to Chapeltown?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chapeltown. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chapeltown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bolton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
