Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crumpsall as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Crumpsall questions

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your M8 postcode.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

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.

Vitreous china

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

How we price sink repair

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
