Your questions about sink repair in Hulme Walfield
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cheshire East.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What affects the price in Hulme Walfield
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CW12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Hulme Walfield
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
