Sink repair in Hindley Green, done in place
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. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and a chipped vanity basin, we can generally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hindley Green and across Wigan.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Materials we work on in Hindley Green
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
