Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Handforth questions
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Handforth.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Repair or replace in Handforth?

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Handforth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
