How we handle sink repair in Eccles
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin.

Common questions in Eccles
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is there any odour?

Signs you need sink repair in Eccles
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on

The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
