Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Macclesfield as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Macclesfield questions

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cheshire East, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Common problems we fix in Macclesfield

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
