Sink repair for Didsbury homes

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Didsbury. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Didsbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Didsbury: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you cover the whole of Greater Manchester?

All of Greater Manchester, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Didsbury

If you manage property in Didsbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

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.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need sink repair in Didsbury

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
