Trusted sink repair in Kelbrook

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Questions from Kelbrook

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

Everywhere in the UK, Kelbrook included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Signs you need sink repair in Kelbrook

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Kelbrook and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
