About our sink repair in Markland Hill
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a period basin that needs restoring.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Markland Hill questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Markland Hill?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What else we do in Markland Hill
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Markland Hill. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Markland Hill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bolton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Signs you need sink repair in Markland Hill
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
