Sink Repair for Higher Poynton homes
Sink repair in and around Higher Poynton: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Higher Poynton
Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
