Sink repair at your home in Denton

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and chips from dropped toiletries, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole basin

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Denton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Choosing a repair company

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Landlord and trade work in Denton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Denton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
