Sink repair at your home in Healds Green
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped toiletries and crazing in the glaze.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Your questions about sink repair in Healds Green
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What affects the price in Healds Green

- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
