Sink Repair for Kirkhamgate homes
Sink repair across Kirkhamgate and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from 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.
When to call us in Kirkhamgate
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched

- What protection goes down before work starts
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Questions from Kirkhamgate
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses 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.
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.
