DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle sink repair in Davyhulme
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Davyhulme. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
