Sink & basin repair in Irwell Vale, Bury
Our technicians come to Irwell Vale for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Do you need sink repair in Irwell Vale?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

- An antique basin with chips

- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
