Questions from Dukinfield
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Are there extra charges for Dukinfield?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you cover the whole of Tameside?
Everywhere in the UK, Dukinfield included. Travel is included in the price.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dukinfield
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dukinfield as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
