Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Levenshulme

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we’re called out for in Levenshulme

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A crack near the taps
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Levenshulme

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about sink repair in Levenshulme

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Levenshulme.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
