Common problems we fix in Grange

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Common reasons people in Grange contact us are:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oldham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Grange

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oldham.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why Grange clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
