Landlord and trade work in Elton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we handle sink repair in Elton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bury.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out

What affects the price in Elton
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
