Repair or replace in Failsworth?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Failsworth
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you come to Failsworth?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Failsworth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
