Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

About our sink repair in Grimsargh
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

When to call us in Grimsargh

- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Your questions about sink repair in Grimsargh
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Grimsargh and the rest of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
