East Didsbury: your questions answered
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Sink repair in East Didsbury, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Other services in East Didsbury
Do you need sink repair in East Didsbury?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in East Didsbury
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
