What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Most customers in Madeley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Sink repair in Madeley, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Madeley: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need sink repair in Madeley

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Madeley. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Madeley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
