About our sink repair in Farnworth
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Farnworth
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farnworth use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about sink repair in Farnworth
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Farnworth. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is the work guaranteed?

Do you work in Farnworth?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Farnworth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
