About our sink repair in Hoddlesden
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crazed, tired basin and a period basin that needs restoring.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

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.
FAQs for Hoddlesden
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?

Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
