Sink repair in Denshaw, done in place

We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

Common questions in Denshaw
Do you cover Denshaw?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Denshaw. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Landlord and trade work in Denshaw
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Denshaw use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Denshaw
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
