Sink repair for Cranage homes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Sink repair in Cranage without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What sink repair costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CW4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about sink repair in Cranage

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Can landlords book you?

How much does sink repair cost in Cranage?

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire East?

Everywhere in the UK, Cranage included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
