Sink repair in Glossop without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips around the rim, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our full price list.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Glossop

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Glossop: your questions answered

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What affects the price in Glossop

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Do you need sink repair in Glossop?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips around the rim
  • An antique basin with chips
