Sink & basin repair in Greenacres, Oldham
Our technicians come to Greenacres for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
About our sink repair in Greenacres
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We are often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Greenacres and across Oldham.

Greenacres questions
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
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.
Do you come to Greenacres?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Greenacres for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Greenacres?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Most jobs done in one visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Greenacres. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Greenacres
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greenacres as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
