Denton questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How much does sink repair cost in Denton?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Denton.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Sink repair at your home in Denton

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and a chipped basin edge.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we’re called out for in Denton

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped basin edge
  • An antique basin with chips

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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 the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
