How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common problems we fix in Linthwaite
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
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.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Linthwaite: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How much does sink repair cost in Linthwaite?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your HD7 postcode.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Repairing versus replacing in Linthwaite
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Linthwaite, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
