Sink Repair in Ellesmere
Sink repair for Ellesmere, without a refit. Get a fixed price from your pictures, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Sink repair in Ellesmere, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s an antique basin with chips and a crack near the taps, we can usually put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What happens if you find more damage?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
