How we handle sink repair in Edgeley

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Edgeley

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Edgeley: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Edgeley

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Edgeley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
