Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
About our sink repair in Gawthorpe
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and a chipped basin edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Do you need sink repair in Gawthorpe?

Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
