About our sink repair in Denton
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an antique basin with chips, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

FAQs for Denton
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Denton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
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.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Denton. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
